Native Speaker Rules Of Speaking And Foreign Language Learning, David Hayes Dec 1995

Native Speaker Rules Of Speaking And Foreign Language Learning, David Hayes

PASAA

Rules of speaking are complex and often differ from language to language Native speakers of a language only acquire proficiency in their use after years of socialisation in the language environment. For foreign learners of that language to be equally adept they would generally need to have extensive knowledge of the language and the target culture allied to years of experience within it. Yet most learners of a foreign language will never be able to acquire such knowledge and, indeed, most of them will never need to. This is particularly true of the vast majority of FL learners in schools. …


Pragmatics And Politeness In The Second Language Classroom, Robb Armstrong Dec 1995

Pragmatics And Politeness In The Second Language Classroom, Robb Armstrong

PASAA

This article examines the notions of "negative" and "positive politeness" and "face" as they relate to the second language classroom. The thesis is that an analysis of these pragmatic aspects of language usage will broaden understanding of the nature of interactions between teachers and students, and will provide insights that may help the teacher with various aspects of classroom methodology. The writer uses Brown and Levinson's Politeness: Some Universals in Language Usage as a basis for a sample analysis of a class taught at Concordia University in Montreal (in-campus mini teaching), to adult refugees mostly at the beginner level. Three …

Language And Environment, George M. Jacobs, Andrew Goatly, Kerome Ming

PASAA

Language affects the way we view the world.

This article explores the link between language and the environment, looking at the specific case of English. Both lexical and grammatical features of English are considered. Numerous examples and cartoons illustrate the concepts discussed The final section of the article addresses implications for language instruction. The authors urge language teachers to include environmental themes in their classes, stating that such themes add to, …

It discusses important components of the authoring module, particularly the input, editing, data and information saving. This article also covers practical steps and techniques, including how to retrieve the data input by the teacher and how to mark students' answers.


From Insult And Injury To Open Critical Thinking, John Wilson Dec 1995

From Insult And Injury To Open Critical Thinking, John Wilson

PASAA

In this article the author outlines the conflict existing between the western heritage of open critical thinking and traditional Thai values. It is maintained that the issue of voicing critical thinking in Thai universities is not principally an intellectual dilemma, but rather a social one. He proposes that this problem is not insoluble and that revising local concepts of "argument" and other expository speech acts in the academic language game will promise an intellectually powerful yet socially harmonious outcome. He formulates an adoptable principle of intellectual integrity with maxims for academic debate.

คำอังกฤษในภาษาไทย (English Loanwords In Thai), สุไร พงษ์ทองเจริญ Mar 1978

คำอังกฤษในภาษาไทย (English Loanwords In Thai), สุไร พงษ์ทองเจริญ

PASAA

There are numerous loanwords in Thai which come from different origins. The analysis to be presented in this paper covers only the words borrowed from English. The corpus consists of about 400 words generally used in evreyday language. The great majority of the words exhibit patterns of change, mostly in sound — from the sound patterns of English to Thai. The change occurs because the speaker using the words has the feeling that he is speaking Thai. The types of change found in the data can be classified as consonant, vowel and stressed syllable changes, addition of tones, word clipping, …

การสอนภาษาอังกฤษในประเทศไทย : เราจะไปทางไหนกัน? (Tefl In Thailand : Where Do We Go From Here?), ประพาศน์ พฤทธิประภา

PASAA

This paper reviews some relevant literature concerned with the polimical question of optimum age for secondary language learning. It is suggested that 'time,' not 'age,' is a more important factor. The discussion includes the current Canadian research on what combination and permutation of age, time, and approach to secondary language learning will prove to be most effective. "เราทราบกันมานานแล้วว่าครูที่สอนภาษาอังกฤษในโรงเรียนประถมศึกษาทั่วประเทศรู้ภาษาอังกฤษไม่พอที่จะสอนให้ถูกต้อง...แต่ เราก็พอใจกันที่จะให้นักเรียนเรียนอย่างไม่ถกต้อง... เรามีปรัชญา งู ๆ ปลา ๆ เพราะฉะนั้นสิ่งที่ควรกระทำคือ พิจารณาปรัชญาว่าเรา สอนภาษาอังกฤษเพี่อประโยชน์อันใด เพื่อใคร เพี่อผู้เรียนหรือเพี่อ ผู้สอนหรือเพี่อผู้ปกครอง หรือเพื่อเจ้าของโรงเรียน..."

การสอนภาษาอังกฤษในระดับอุดมศึกษา (Modern Trends In Teaching English At The Tertiary Level), กานดา ศีตะจิตต์

PASAA

At the present time linguists, language teachers, and supervisors seem to agree that English should be taught for special purposes. By this is meant that students of different disciplines should concentrate on certain vocabulary and structures most often found in their texts, while vocabulary and structures with less frequency should be less emphasized and scaled accordingly. Many experts at various institutions have suggested the kind of vocabulary and structures which ought to be introduced to science students. In Thailand many institutions have already started programs of teaching scientific English by preparing their own texts. To do this, a great deal …

รูปและเสียงในภาษาไทย (Spelling And Sound), ยุพา ส่งศิริ

PASAA

This article intends to expose teachers of the Thai language to the basic linguistic difference between spelling and sound. Failure to recognize this difference results in problems for both teachers and students. This difference is illustrated in an analysis of the Thai alphabet, which reveals that 6 final sounds can be represented by more than 6 letters and 24 vowel sounds must be written with the use of only 14 scripts. The article discusses the 5 tones of Thai and how they are represented in script form by different combinations of the four tone marks and the three classes of …

คำสันนิษฐานว่าด้วยความเป็นมาของ "คำลักษณะนามอัน" (A Hypothesis On Noun Classifier /?An/), วิไลวรรณ ขนิษฐานันท์ Oct 1976

คำสันนิษฐานว่าด้วยความเป็นมาของ "คำลักษณะนามอัน" (A Hypothesis On Noun Classifier /?An/), วิไลวรรณ ขนิษฐานันท์

PASAA

To a certain extent, noun classifiers in Thai indicate some characteristics of nouns, i.e. roundness as in [luuk], length as in [sen], flat and wide as in [phen]. However, [?an], whose grammatical usage is exactly the same as any other noun classifier, does not have this quality. In some dialects, [?an] can be used with any inanimate nouns. It is hypothesized in this article that because [?an] has always been related very closely with nouns, i.e. functioning as a relative pronoun and a nominalizer, it came to be used as a noun classifier or a noun counter when there was …
